                             /   %  Boca lifers,  Pine Crest is defined by a set of experiences that unified them
                                     for the majority of their lives.  At lunch, they ate the holy gift of the sacred
             chicken patty and drank either chocolate milk or the absurdly fluorescent juice beverage known as  A

             “iceberry blue.”  They looked forward to having in-class celebrations for their birthdays, marching
             around during Halloween parades, taking hayrides and passing blanketed bunnies during Fall  jM     STEVEN QHjfiVQNY
             Fun  Day, and  receiving their designated destiny on  a  Field  Day team.  Some of them had
             their early glory days playing kickball in the gym or singing as “Cool Cats.”  Boca lifers  >   TJjjSj

             later effectively proved that “Everybody Has Music  Inside.”  Their cultural prowess
             was  only heightened  by  Finer  Points,  in  which  they became  the  classiest  polka-
             dancing  lower schoolers  in  all  the  land.  When  they weren’t  on  campus,  Boca
             lifers were exploring the Kennedy Space Center, St. Augustine, the Everglades,
             or Washington  D.C.  (where they all contracted a suspicious strain of what  jgjg
             can only be described as the Bubonic plague).  After the Bar/Bat Mitzvah  Jkgr-
             mania of seventh grade, eighth grade rolled around and they knew their  j p HH h Q h HHM
             time at Boca was coming to a close.  Soon it would be time to encounter
             the  urban  legend of “Fort  Lauderdale  Kids”;  they waved goodbye   PRESTON
             to  their  Boca campus and  relocated  to  their new home  in  Fort  AKBA
              Lauderdale.  As the class of 2015 now prepares to embrace the
              next journey in their lives, they remember the words of then-
